I can assemble and have assembled text and designs for advertising to appear in online or offline in a newspaper or a newsletter. I am capable of assisting a client wanting to prepare text, designs and colors for ads, finding all of the elements on my own. However, I have no college training, college degree or work experience in advertising or public relations. My background is in newspaper, newsletter and online print journalism, proposal writing, grant writing, copyediting and proofreading.
